Not a parent but I read this and have my personal opinions, curious what others think about it.

    Yes, I did stuff like this when I was a kid, everybody does, but no, I wasn’t actively encouraged to do so, au contraire, my parents always taught me how to behave in public and I’m grateful for it. Kids will become adults one day, if they are never taught how to behave they’ll probably end up being entitled pricks that think they can do whatever they want whenever they want.

      I don’t think everybody does anymore. Some parents keep their kids so sheltered now they don’t know how to do anything independently.
